(3) K-3 A little girl misses her parents during her first sleepover. Grandma uses a variety of tricks to distract her: hour-long hugs, fried ice cream and Belgian waffles, and dress-up play with Kip the house chicken. Brightly patterned watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations and the pleasantly meandering text provide a comforting way to address a common childhood anxiety.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
